Here\u2019s why PewDiePie was banned from Roblox PewDiePie, YouTube \/ RobloxMassively popular children\u2019s game \u2018Roblox\u2019 has reinstated YouTube star Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg, after banning him and all mention of his username from their platform following his stream to beat Bollywood label T-Series. A post on Roblox\u2019s developer forums explained PewDiePie\u2019s ban as relating to a recent, \u201cnegative\u201d meme from December, which included the word, \u201cpewdie.\u201d The post went on to claim that PewDiePie\u2019s legacy account had been unfairly banned, as the game only meant to ban new accounts with usernames containing the offending phrase. https:\/\/devforum.roblox.com\/t\/update-in-regards-to-recent-policy-action-pewdiepie\/239867\u201cThe legacy account that PewDiePie used in his livestream was incorrectly banned as part of the administration of this policy,\u201d the post reads. \u201cHis legacy account is being reinstated.\u201d However, many players aren\u2019t buying Roblox\u2019s explanation, as few search results exist within the game\u2019s forums concerning the meme. Additionally, a post allegedly written by a Roblox staff member from January 2019 claimed that any content related to PewDiePie would be banned, \u201cdue to his content redirecting to unsafe and inappropriate sites\/channels, as well as continued inappropriate behavior.\u201d Read More: \u2018Fresh Prince\u2019 actor Alfonso Ribeiro\u2019s Fortnite dance emote lawsuit gets surprising update – PewDiePie\u2019s ban came shortly after his unannounced livestream of the game on February 11, in a last-ditch effort to beat out T-Series for the most subscribers on YouTube. Pewds wasn\u2019t the only one affected by the ban, either; other accounts were likewise banned for using the word \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 in chats, while one user was banned for uploading a photo of a shirt that read, \u201cSub to PewDiePie.\u201d PewDiePie later decried Roblox\u2019s actions in a video, noting the irony of his ban in light of the success of his stream for the game, which saw over 15,000 concurrent players in his server.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
